Melania Trump asks English-language school to take down billboards using photo of first lady

First lady Melania Trump has threatened legal action against a Croatian language school if it doesn’t remove billboards featuring photos of her.

Trump’s lawyer said the school in Zagreb used the images without the first lady’s consent, the BBC reported Tuesday.

Trump has asked for the billboards to be taken down within 24 hours.

Five billboards feature a photo of Trump speaking at the Republican National Convention during the 2016 election.

“Just imagine how far you can go with a little bit of English,” the billboards read.

A spokeswoman for the American Institute in Zagreb told the Associated Press last week that the billboards are not a swipe at Trump.

“There are different opinions about Melania Trump, but the fact is that she is the first lady,” Ivis Buric said. “She had to do a lot, including delivering speeches in English and addressing huge crowds in a foreign language.”

Trump also speaks her native Slovenian, as well as French, Serbian, and German.
